Patent GB-1001773-A (GB)
Title: Plywood manufacture and apparatus therefor
IPC: B27D1/08
Filed: 1963-06-06
Abstract: 1,001,773. Plywood; laminates and laminating. FIBERPLY (PROPRIETARY), June 6, 1963 [June 19, 1962; Dec. 18, 1962] No. 22477/63. Headings B5L and B5N. A process for manufacturing plywood comprises feeding at least two lengths of wood veneer to a press in a direction transversely to the grain of the veneer, applying a coating of adhesive between the adjacent surfaces of the veneers, pressing the veneers together over their full width and along a portion of the length transversely to the grain, allowing the adhesive to set, and repeating the procedure cyclically. The process may be used to produce plywood of corrugated shape and uses a press having a frame 22 of wooden members reinforced by rods 14. The press has a lower platen 16 having a corrugated upper surface 20 and a plurality of upper platens 18a, 18b, 18c each having a width corresponding to one corrugation. Each upper platen is movable independently by an hydraulic or pneumatic device 24 or by screw means. The upper platens 18b, 18c and a part 16b of the lower platen have tubes 26 connected to hot water or steam, and the upper platen 18a and a portion 16a of the lower platen, separated by insulation material 34 from the part 16b, have tubes 32 connected to a cooling medium. The platens may be of metal or concrete faced with metal or melamine. In the process, two or more layers of veneer are fed with their grain transverse to the direction of feeding from the side of the press having the cooling platen to the platen 18b, adhesive, such as urea-formaldehyde, being applied to adjacent surfaces of the veneers, for example, by spraying. The platen 18b is lowered to hold the veneers against the lower platen, and the platens 18c are then successively lowered to form the corrugations and cure the adhesive. Finally platen 18a is lowered to form a fourth corrugation but the cooling medium prevents curing of the adhesive. A continuous length of corrugated plywood may be produced by progressively feeding the layers of veneers into the apparatus. The upper platens may be slightly offset relative to the lower platen towards the end of the press having the cooling platen 18a so that, when they are lowered, they ensure enough material is taken up to form the corrugations. Cauls of flexible metal may be placed between the platens and material to provide smooth pressing faces. A thin gauge metal sheet or foil may be adhered between the layers or to the outside of the layers. Alternatively layers of reinforcing filaments or fibres of natural or synthetic material or chopped glass arranged in single strands or groups of strands may be incorporated between the layers of veneers.

Title: Improvements in and relating to methods of increasing the resistance to heat of alloys containing iron and aluminium with or without chromium
IPC: C23C22/74
Filed: 1936-08-17
Abstract: Iron-aluminium or iron-aluminium-chromium alloys containing for example 2-12 per cent of aluminium with or without up to 35 per cent of chromium, which are characterized by their resistance to heat up to temperatures of about 1300 DEG  C., are treated with alkaline solutions to prevent the phenomenon of blistering at high temperatures.  The alloys may be immersed for from a few hours up to several days in a sodium carbonate solution, lime water, baryta water, or caustic soda solution.  If a skin forms on the surface of the solution it should be skimmed off before the alloys are removed. After removal from the solution the residues of the alkaline constituents may be burnt in by heating to a temperature of about 400-600 DEG  C. or the burning in may be effected when the article is put into use, e.g. as an electrical heating element.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of sheets or films of composition containing cellulose esters or ethers
IPC: C08L1/00
Filed: 1927-08-30
Abstract: 301,439. Spicers, Ltd., and Hands, H. J. Aug. 30, 1927. Electricity, discharging.-The electric charge carried by sheets or films formed by evaporation of the solvent from solutions of compositions containing cellulose esters or ethers, such as cellulose acetate, when stripped from the surface on which they are formed is removed by passing them through an electrically conducting aqueous bath, connected to earth. The bath may contain a dilute solution of caustic alkali, acid, or an acid salt, such as sodium hydrogen phosphate, which reduces an extremely thin layer of the film to cellulose and thereby more effectually removes the electrical charge on the film, or alternatively the bath may contain neutral salts, such as sodium chloride, ammonium sulphate or sodium sulphate. Last traces of solvent may subsequently be removed from the films by passing them through an aqueous oxidizing bath containing for example hydrogen peroxide, or both baths may be combined. The films are then passed through a neutralizing bath and finally washed with water and dried. Sheets or films made according to Specification 287,635 may be further treated in this manner. A softening agent such as ethyl alcohol or methylated spirit may be added to the electrolyte bath. Gelatine coatings adhere more readily to such sheets or films, the surface layers of which have been reduced to cellulose. In the apparatus shown, the film 10 stripped from an endless metal band passes over guide rollers through the necessary treatment baths, the first of which is earthed, and between squeegees 18, 24 and 34, water sprays 30 and hotair drying chamber 36 to the winding reel 42.
